OK, time to start whining. The Badgers go into the Big 10 tournament ranked number 10 in the nation, with an RPI of 17. They blow out Illinois in the championship, and are a 6th seed? What in the world?

Utah State didn't deserve to get in they lost to a nobody school Cal-State Northridge in the second round after getting a buy. The Big West is a very weak conference, ranked 18th overall. They get only one team, Pacific, because that is what they deserve.

UTEP, which probably took Utah States spot, was conference co-champ of the WAC which is ranked 10th overall and lost in the finals of the WAC tourny to Nevada the other co-champion. Of note, Utah State is moving to the WAC in 2005, they know the Big West is weak.

Lesson that Alabama learned and now Utah State is learning, strength of schedule counts. If you are in a weak conference, a loss to a top team is better then a win against a cupcake.

The coin flip thing probably resulted in a interesting bracket, but it will probably beat all of us, unless it picked a team like Florida A&M to win it all. I filled out all five brackets that the ESPN site allows, but I only entered one of them. No sense in humiliating myself more than once.
